Persistent Anatomical Identity Leakage in Privacy-Preserving Synthetic CT Generation
A new framework for generating synthetic lung CT slices combines Optimal Transport Conditional Flow Matching with geometric latent space filtering to enhance privacy. While the method reduces direct image memorization and some privacy risks, official challenge results show that deeper anatomical identity can still be inferred from generated images. This suggests that current filtering techniques are insufficient to fully protect patient identity in medical image synthesis.
Why it matters: The findings underscore a significant limitation in privacy-preserving medical image generation, with implications for data sharing and regulatory compliance.
